Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy
Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own.

Rest for the Weary
Adapted from the resource Closer to God Each Day Devotional - by
The first key to overcoming stress is to recognize or admit we are experiencing it, and look for the source of it.
There was a time in my life when I was
constantly having headaches, backaches, stomach aches, neck aches, and
all the other symptoms of stress, but I found it very difficult to admit
I was pushing too hard physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually.
I wanted to do all of the things I was
doing and wasn’t willing to ask God what He wanted me to do. I was
afraid that He would lead me to give up something I wasn’t ready to give
up yet.
Although the Lord gives power to the faint
and weary, if you are worn-out from continually exceeding your physical
limitations, you will have stress.
Our bodies are the sanctuary (home) of
God, and we are in disobedience when we push ourselves past God-ordained
limitations and live in continual stress. We all have limits and we
need to recognize what they are and eliminate excess stress from our
lives.
If you wear out your body, you can’t go to a department store and purchase another one, so take care of the one you have!
Prayer Starter:
Father, I lift my schedule and activities up to You. Show me areas
where I need to change. Help me to do my part to eliminate stress and
take care of my body, the temple of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for Your
grace to change! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). As believers, we have inside us the authority to determine what kind of life we have. The more we give, the more blessings come back to us.
